CVE-2013-2108Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary PHP execution via forged AJAX request

Published Feb 10, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Gfazioli WP CleanFix 2.4.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP through an administrator session. The wpCleanFixAjax.php handler passes the command POST parameter through strip_tags() to eval() without validating a request nonce. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to submit the forged AJAX request, after which attacker-supplied PHP runs with the site's privileges.
